here's what my intro Java textbook says about this question:

The Graphics class is somewhat special in that the programmer does not instantiate it. Because the details fo drawing graphics are unique for each type of computer system, the Graphics class is device dependant. The Graphics object corresponding to a particular surface is obtained either by using the getGraphics method of the surface, or by accepting it as a parameter to a method that is invoked automatically, such as paint
